I’ve paired this wall color with black accents, a black desk, and some black and tan upholstery to create a super graphic, masculine space. I’ve also used the same color and mixed it with lots of pretty reds and blues to create a more feminine space. It’s a neutral, but a neutral with personality!” —Eric Hughes

Never underestimate the impact the right wall paint can have in a home office—especially now, when the workspaces in our houses have replaced so many of our office cubicles. Not only is color an easy way to refresh a lackluster room, but the right paint hue could help increase productivity—after all, some paint colors are believed to have positive psychological effects. Studies even suggest that certain shades help stimulate your brain, while other hues are said to have calming effects that can lower stress levels (something we could all use a little more of these days, as we juggle full-time jobs, virtual school, and more). "A workspace is all about productivity, so you want to choose paint colors that will keep your energy focused and also have a calming effect," says Nicole Gibbons, interior designer and founder of Clare. "Even a controlled pop of color in a floral arrangement can spark creativity.
"
For this reason, it's important to select a paint color for your home office that actually inspires you. "A home office is likely to be a place you spend a lot of your day in, so it's important to consider colors that you are happy to be around for long periods of time," says Patrick O'Donnell, brand ambassador at Farrow & Ball. "Soothing, earthy colors like greens and blues evoke a feeling of calm if you are looking to reduce stress. While light colors, such as warm whites, are great if you want to create a room free of distraction."
Not sure what shade to paint your own home office? We reached out to a few of our favorite color experts for advice. From calming browns and greens to stimulating yellows and beyond, these are the hues that will help create your idea work environment.

If you're scared to commit to a dark paint color in a highly-trafficked area of your home, Nivara Xaykao, Color Marketing and Development Expert at Benjamin Moore, says an office or study is a great alternative. "A dark, muted blue, like Blue Note 2129-30, can really distinguish a workspace and give it a special, luxurious quality that you'll want to return to," she explains. "Dark colors also provide a great backdrop for computer monitors or TVs because they can both minimize visual distractions, as well as camouflage these media items a bit."
Navy also fits into this category: It's a neo-neutral that's every bit as versatile as it is refreshing.
"A warm navy, like our 2020 Color of the Year, Naval, is rooted in nature and creates a meditative atmosphere for maximum productiveness," Wadden says.

A little warm white paint goes a long way towards grounding your home office. "If you want limited visual distraction and a 'clean' space, try a warm white such as Orange Coloured White," O'Donnell says. "This will bring just a hint of warmth to a room, and works especially well if your home office is north facing.
Hannah Yeo, the color marketing and development manager at Benjamin Moore, agrees: "Warm off-whites, such as Dove Wing OC-18, are soft and easy on the eyes. They also make a great backdrop color to decorate with to spark creativity."

"Coral Reef SW 6606 is a vibrant pink that will help keep your energy up throughout the day," she explains. "Simple white accents let the color shine, but it also works well with glamorous gold finishes or toned down with natural woods."

Why settle for regular paint when you can have a whole dry-erasable wall instead? "Make an entire home office wall a dry erase board by painting a clear coat of Notable Dry Erase Paint over your choice of wall color," says Yeo—it's the ultimate option if you share your workspace with your kids, who might need the wall for virtual school.

Comfortable furniture, an eco-friendly computer and thoughtful lighting are not enough to create a comfortable working environment. One of the most important visual informants and stimuli is color. The color scheme plays a huge role in shaping the well-being and mood of a person. That's why it's so important to choose the right color for the office we're in all day long. This color should not be too bright to distract from work, but also not too calm to let us fall asleep.
An office is a place where people work. This means that the main task of the color scheme of the interior of your office is to help create a working environment. Stimulate activity, reduce fatigue, increase mindfulness and concentration, reduce nervous tension. We have prepared some interesting and useful information, and we hope you find it useful.
Five main rules when choosing an office color:
- The right color of the walls in the office not only sets the employees in a working mood, but also attracts new customers and partners. Psychologists are convinced that color is able, on a subconscious level, to "force" a partner to sign a contract on the terms that you offer.
- Three golden principles for choosing colors for painting/decorating walls: area, number of windows, amount of light.
- The color of the walls should: match the overall interior, not contradict the wishes of management or employees, not contrast with furniture, take into account the peculiarities of the impact on psychological health.
- Bright colors excite the nervous system too much and interfere with concentration, while variegation can cause headaches.
- Cold shades contribute to concentration, and the whole color palette of green has a positive effect on vision.
Below are some specific recommendations for using a particular color in your office interiors.
Gray and other neutral colors
The tradition of painting offices in neutral colors was born by itself. Gray, white, beige - a considerable number of cabinets around the world are painted in these calm colors. Gray suits are also prescribed by a mass of strict office dress codes. And now, attention! Gray color demotivates, makes employees passive. And beige and white make employees, and especially employees, feel sad and depressed. As for male employees, orange and purple, which are far from neutral, also have a similar effect on them.
Yellow
Here the opinions of scientists are divided.
Some say yellow is great. Everyone will look at him, enjoy life and be creative. Others argue that it cannot be worse, your eyes will get tired of yellow even before you start work, and it will be impossible to concentrate at all. Scientists can argue further, but it seems to us that everything is quite obvious: if you plan to be creative and give birth to new ideas - paint the walls yellow, if you are going to focus and concentrate - choose a different color!
Green
A green-painted office is the dream of every workaholic. This color does not tire the eyes, and, in fact, it does not tire you either. But it calms and helps to focus. Also very good for reading. So if you have to sit for a long time checking documents written in small print, green will help you control yourself, not be annoyed by monotonous work and not lose concentration.
Blue
In the ranking of the most successful colors for the office, blue confidently shares the first place with green.
It helps not to lose concentration and, like green, does not tire. For anyone who has to work with numbers or small details, this is what you need. The main thing is not to confuse it with blue and gray.
Brown
Oddly enough, brown did not fall into the "dull" group along with its companion, gray. On the contrary, scientists believe that this color can create a feeling of safety and security. So if you sell, for example, insurance, or the services of a security company, then brown will help convince customers that everything will be fine with you.
Red
Red can also help creatives. It enhances emotionality and expressiveness, almost like yellow promotes creative activity, and in general invigorates. The latter, by the way, can also help those whose work is associated with physical labor. True, along with cheerfulness, red increases aggressiveness, so it is better not to paint the negotiation room in this color. And also know - if you decide to paint it in red open space (open space) - everyone will always eat something in it, because red stimulates the appetite.
With red, everything is too ambiguous to paint the entire office. But we still recommend using it in the interior.
We will separately touch on the most favorable color solutions for open space offices.
"Spread" the walls and visually enlarge the space in a densely populated and noisy due to conversations and buzzing of the open space technique will help light cold tones - pearl, water-green. And the colors of the "quiet" range will help to change the perception of noise - unsaturated cold ones: light blue, gray-blue. A calm range of pastel colors will reduce fatigue from crowds.
So, when choosing an office color, you should not be guided only by personal tastes and preferences. Color is a complex and multifaceted factor. Color in the office can solve many problems, but when used ill-conceived, on the contrary, it can create them. Ergonomic knowledge will help you choose the right color so that a good mood does not leave you, work is successful, and relationships in the team are harmonious.
Let us remind you that when renting offices in the Nobel and Nobel Park business centers in Tyumen, we are ready to offer not only painting the walls in any of your chosen colors, but also help in developing a design project for your office.

How to choose the color of the walls in the office, so as not to turn employees into "boiled flies"?
Contents:
- Why dimming is important
- Which colors increase efficiency and which decrease it?
- Color or style? How to choose a design option by tone?
- How to quickly set up employees for work?
Working in a dark, gray room with poor lighting and boring design is very difficult.
Psychologists have proven that the color of the walls in the office directly affects the mood and productivity of employees. There are shades that cause a desire to work, and there are shades that “kill” all the undertakings and aspirations of specialists. That is why it is important to choose the right wallpaper or paint to create a unique and productive atmosphere in the room.
Principles for choosing the color of the walls in the office
The effect of color on a person's mood is successfully used not only by designers of offices and apartments, but also by marketers who want to draw attention to a product, product or service. It has been proven that the human brain is already used to responding with certain reactions to different colors. For example, bright blue has nothing to do with food. And pure black evokes thoughts of sorrow and sadness.
How to choose the best wall color for your office? It is worth relying on a number of principles that are regularly used by designers of offices and public spaces:
- Assess the direct impact of color on a person's health and mood.
The tone of the walls can be attuning to work or irritate the eyes of employees. In the second case, the efficiency will decrease, and colleagues will begin to go on sick leave more often. - Consider office size. Dark colors visually reduce the space. Light colors make it wider and lighter. In spacious options, matte tones look good, which smooth out the breadth and volume. But for modest cabinets, glossy surfaces that reflect light are well suited.
- Comply with lighting regulations. This is important for the health and productivity of employees. The amount of light directly affects the eyes. When it is low, the eye muscles are constantly tense, which causes headaches and weakness. The standards are spelled out in special documentation, which describes the general indicators and the illumination of each workplace.
- Evaluate overall style. Often corporate identity shows employees how important their work is. Among the general recommendations, designers advise loft or modern styles, where there are few small details that distract attention “for nothing”.
- Observe design rules. It is recommended to use only two main colors for the design of work areas. When applying three tones, their distribution should be as follows: 60% for the main color, 30% for the secondary and only 10% for the third shade.
- Follow color selection rules to increase, not decrease, performance.
To choose the optimal color for the walls in the office, you need to take into account all the recommendations. Choose the main tone both according to the design rules and the influence of shades on the health and mood of employees.
Which colors increase efficiency and which decrease it?
It is important not only to understand what color it is desirable to paint the walls in the office, but also to take into account the saturation of the tone. For example, "nuclear" blue can only be included as a design element, but definitely not as a primary color. But blue, sky blue or pale blue are perfect as a base to which you need to add a little "warmth".
All colors have advantages and disadvantages. They are taken into account in psychology and in design.
Shade blue
Takes a leading position in the design of work areas. It is he who activates those parts of the brain that are responsible for the assimilation of new information and the establishment of working contacts. Often it is used to decorate schools, public buildings and even hospitals.
Blue
A bright and deep shade suitable only for decoration of individual details. If blue is used as the main color, the performance of employees will drop sharply.
An interesting fact. One large company in Moscow decided to choose blue as the main color for their corporate identity. Several departments were "repainted" in this color. And in just a month, productivity fell 3 times. Only after the change of tone did everything fall into place.
Green or grass shade
The color is perfect for break rooms. In this case, you do not need to choose bright colors.
It is better to take classic or pale green. It is he who calms the central nervous system and helps to relax. Often, wallpapers of the same tone are placed on the walls of children's rooms.
Office red
A unique color that simultaneously boosts productivity through the release of adrenaline and reduces the speed of work, as it is associated with a red prohibition signal. It is impossible to decorate work areas only with this shade. But for focusing attention and combining with other tones, it is perfect.
Quite often the red rooms are meeting rooms designed for brainstorming. It is with this color that the wall is distinguished, on which the deadline for tasks is indicated or the best employees are congratulated.
Pink shade
Refers to warm tones, but not recommended for office spaces. Psychologists conducted an experiment and painted the floor in one of the offices of the office building in pink. As a result, employees became suspicious, wary, and even irritated.
Brown and Beige
Next in popularity and utility to blue. Brown tones give self-confidence. Remove anxiety and fear, increase self-confidence. Beige shades are considered neutral. They make the room more spacious and warmer.
White and black
Such colors in their pure form cannot be used to decorate premises, not only for work, but also for living. Psychologists have proven that if the walls are painted only in white, gray or black, a person subconsciously wants to escape from this atmosphere of cold and silence.
Violet
Definitely a positive option for office walls, especially if it's not too bright. Violet improves the functioning of the heart and lungs. It increases self-confidence, stamina and even concentration.
Only purple is not recommended for office decoration. If there is too much color, it begins to cause a feeling of fatigue and oppression.
It is precisely because of these color features that designers do not use only one paint for decorating office and public buildings.
To get the perfect office or create a suitable work area, experts first choose the style of decoration, and only then take care of the color scheme.
Color or style? How to choose a design option by tone?
Designers do not just choose a certain style for office decoration. The decision relies not only on beauty, but also on knowledge of the features of the color palette. More precisely, its impact on the performance and productivity of employees.
Among the most popular styles are loft, classic and modern (modern). Each of them deserves special attention.
Features of the color palette of the loft style in the office
The popularity of the style began in the 40s of the XX century in the industrial areas of New York. In Russia, the loft came into fashion much later. But now they decorate almost any office space.
Offices decorated in a loft style are characterized by a minimal number of partitions. Large rooms are filled with light. High ceilings and panoramic windows emphasize the beauty of the interior.
The colors of the loft are characterized by a combination of white, red and black. The main details are done in bright colors. Walls - pastel or brick tone. The combination of details literally set you up for a flight of fancy and creative work.
Contemporary spaces
Modernity, minimalism, light and spaciousness - all this characterizes a new fashion trend in office design - modern style. The layout of such premises is dominated by open space, that is, 75% of the space remains free (empty).
The flexibility of the working areas is also an important feature of the modern style. Mobile glass partitions, furniture on wheels and other details emphasize the practicality and mobility of offices.
Among the color schemes, there is a combination of contrasting shades: black and white, deep blue and pale blue, bright purple “spots” and snow-white walls.
Timeless classic
The most luxurious offices and executive offices are decorated in the classic style.
Natural finishing materials are perfectly combined with liquid wallpaper in light, warm colors.
Executive offices in a classic style combine rigor and respectability. The walls are painted in white or beige tones. Massive furniture in the color of natural wood. A small number of cabinets are complemented by modern household appliances.
Such an atmosphere encourages productive managerial decisions and encourages the conclusion of major contracts and deals.
How to quickly set up employees for work?
Is it hard to figure out all the variety of colors and styles on your own? Contact the professionals. Designers take into account a number of criteria when choosing colors and interior style:
- Company's field of activity. If this is a creative center for creating ads or videos, then the design must have bright yellow, red or purple “spots”. It is believed that such accents can awaken imagination and activate a creative vein.
- Presence of corporate identity.
